EXPERIENCES CROSSING OVER

What occurs when the spirit leaves the human body is varied and depends on many things. How did the death occur? Was it sudden as in an accident? Was it caused by an illness gradually leading to the expiration of the physical? The passing may have been self created as in a suicide, but that also varies depending on the motive of taking one’s own life. We will get into that a little later. Some, but not many, die of what we call “old age.” The heart or other organs just wear out and quit functioning.

Not all beings have the same experience, but a typical one that occurs after the spirit leaves the body is that one passes through a tunnel and observes a light at its end. Most of those who have had near death experiences also pass through the tunnel. It is but an entranceway into the next dimension of light on the other side. Even the details of passing through the tunnel vary from one spirit to the next. Their experiences may vary regarding the sounds and colors, whether they go through alone or with others, and what they experience when coming into the light.

There are many factors that determine what a spirit will experience after reaching the other side. Those who have had a long illness and have suffered physically may go into a period of a spiritual sleep state. This may occur before they are welcomed home by their friends and relatives who passed before them, but some will enter into this state after they are greeted. The spirit is often exhausted after a long suffering illness and a sleep or rest period is necessary for the spirit to recover. Various ascended masters such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, or light beings and angels often initially greet those who have a deep faith. Following that greeting they may be introduced to those who have passed on earlier and have come to greet them. They are loved ones, family, friends, and even those known in past lives who have come to welcome them home. A person who has died suddenly and instantly, such as in a car crash, a plane crash, or in an explosion, are often confused and may not aware that they are physically dead. Some of these beings do not initially go to the other side but stay for a while in the astral plane between the physical and spiritual planes. Following is a story of such an individual with whom I had a personal experience.

I will use only his first name here. In June of 1978 I was hired by the Solar Energy Research Institute to manage a newly formed Publications Branch to produce technical reports, educational material, and audio/visual presentations. I was hired to organize, staff and equip the branch as a service organization for the entire staff. A wonderful man named Van hired me to serve in this position. As time passed and the Institute evolved and changed, Van was moved into a position that required a lot of travel.

I had a private enclosed office and during my hour-long lunch period I would often close the door, quiet myself, relax, slip into the alpha state and tune in to the spirit realm. In those times I received many messages on various subjects from various spirits and documented what came through. It was also a good way to deal with the stresses of the corporate world. One day as I quieted my mind I heard a mental voice I recognized as Van, but Van had recently been killed in a head-on collision while on a trip to the DC area. Though his voice was in my mind I recognized his so called voiceprint. “Ron,
Ron,” he to holler out twice, “Why won’t anyone talk to me?” Having heard of his fatal accident, I knew what he, in spirit, was experiencing. His spirit had not yet gone into the light and he was not aware of his physical death. So, he came back to his work place as he always did, but he could not get a response from anyone because they obviously could not see him in his spirit form.

I then mentally spoke out to Van and told him,
“Van, while on your trip to DC you had a head-on collision and you did not physically survive it. You died instantly and you are now in your spirit body. No one will talk to you because they cannot see or hear you. However, I can hear you because I have been blessed whereby I can communicate with the spirit dimension. Van, listen carefully -- look up and you will see a bright white light. When you see it, will yourself to go towards and into that light.”

Two weeks later, as I was meditating and tuning into spirit I again heard Van’s voice. This time he was much calmer.
“Ron, I came back to you just to say thank you so much for helping me realize my situation and directing me to enter into the light. I am fine now with my life here on this side. As you have helped me, so will I help you one day.”
With that he was gone and I never heard from him again knowing he was happy and where he belonged. 

THIS FROM A FRIEND KILLED IN A PLANE CRASH
The following is a story about a friend of mine who died suddenly in a plane crash and shared his experiences on the other side. He was a member of the Army’s Golden Knights Parachute Team. He was also a pilot so we had much in common. We saw each other from time to time while judging sport parachute competitions. During weather delays we often had lengthy conversations and got to know one another very well. Upon returning to his military base after one of his trips with the Golden Knights’ demonstration parachute team, their plane ran into a severe storm and crashed. There were several team members and crew on board and all were killed instantly.

He came through to me a short time after the crash and he seemed disturbed about dying so young. He really wanted to come back because he felt his life here had been cut so short. I connected with him a couple more times after that and then I quit hearing from him for a while. Finally he came through again and explained what he experienced subsequent to entering the spirit plane. Here is his story.

“The first time I saw the Master was upon awakening. I shall try to describe in physical terms so you may understand. We see here but it is not the same and I’m sure that’s hard to understand. When I awoke from a spiritual sleep after first crossing over He was sitting beside me. He was the most beautiful person or entity I had ever seen and I knew Him for I had seen him before. I wondered how I could have forgotten Him so much on the Earth plane. He was no stranger to me. Then He called to one named Daron who came and also sat beside me. All I wanted to do was go back. I had been called so quickly that I just was not ready and you know what happened.”

He had connected with me before receiving this message and explained how much he wanted to go back to the physical because his life was cut so short. Therefore shortly after crossing over he entered a human fetus shortly after a woman’s conception. The next thing he knew, he was back in the spirit plane because his potential mother had an abortion. That made him realize he had been given a great lesson. He was loved while in the physical and dearly loved when he entered the spirit plane, but now he was rejected and back to the spirit plane because he was not loved. This experience brought him to the realization that he must study and prepare himself if he still wanted to return later. Now I’ll continue with his communication.

“When I awoke again there He (the Master) was once more with a gentle smile upon his lips; not an I told you so smile, but one filled with warmth, compassion, and understanding. He was my friend and He always had been. Oh, when I think of all the times I betrayed Him and hurt Him. Well, He called to Daron again and Daron became my first tutor. He taught me all the things I needed to know; you know, the basic things. Then I started going to hear the Master teach in the temple. He is so wonderful. He shines brighter than any light known to man. He wears a white robe, but not the same white you have. It is so pure that you can see all colors in it and it’s so very beautiful. His hair is shorter than most pictures of Him. He looks much the way you have presented Him in your painting Ron. He is not flesh, as you know it. He is spirit and here you can see spirit form if you wish and when you do, you see the reality of things. When He speaks it sounds like the most beautiful music your world has and more. And when he laughs it rings all over. Yes, he has a wonderful sense of humor. You really feel the power of his love. I know it is hard for humans to really understand all this. He is worth every sacrifice you make for Him.

My friend, don’t let the world get a hold on you. Seek to help others whenever you can. All believers have work to do on the Earth plane. He is warm and kind and all know him and love Him here. Please don’t ever fear coming here. Listen always to Him. He will help make your life happier and smoother. Hold tight to his hand and He will guide you and protect you. Thank you dear friend for listening to me.”

MY MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE OF CROSSING OVER
My mother made her transition to the other side three years and three months after my father. The following is what she shared about her experience when crossing over to the spirit plane.

“The walls disappeared from my room and it was as if a band of angels with snow white wings and a heavenly chorus took me up to the horizon where I could really see. All earthly material and earth people disappeared with all things physical. Those who had promised to be with me at the end of my physical life came in mass as had been given to me during my meditation and prayer states, those times when you visited me and thought I was out of it, All around me were angels and singing and Henry (husband) and other people I knew. Mother Mary and Jesus, who had promised to be with me, were there to greet me also. They were too beautiful to describe in words and they emanated a very powerful love.
I was reminded of the saints who were born on angel’s wings. So indeed my journey into spirit was on angel’s wings and it was accompanied with beautiful music that filled every cell and awareness. It was beautiful beyond words and it filled all that I could perceive with such great beauty. And there was golden light all around as far as I could see. Even sunlight could not compare with the beauty and brightness of this golden light and then it turned into the whiteness of angel’s wings and I was born, so to speak, upon the wings of these beautiful beings of light.
Very slowly I moved through various levels of sound and what appeared at times, of liquid color. Moonlight became tangible in a sense because I could experience it through sound. In a sense, I felt one with everything I perceived. I felt a part of it all as I was born up on all this. I had never felt really special in any way on Earth so I thought of what a glorious way that God would create this beautiful pathway into His home as I was taken into these beings of light and angel’s wings and those that were with me, into what would be called a heavenly place that I had traveled to many times while my spirit went out of body during my sleep state in the later years, and so it was very familiar.

In this place, or dimension as I have learned here, there was a beautiful reception and what I perceived as a party, like a birthday party celebrating my birth back to spirit. I was overwhelmed at the people there that had remembered me and had come to welcome me back home again. I am home now and I feel so very happy and peaceful here. Henry was looking so young, like when we first met. He said that I could look any way I wanted to look relative to my past life. So, I made myself look refined somewhat. I am still Helen but I prettied myself up like I always wanted to look, and now I look beautiful like I did in my twenties. We can all do this here on this dimension.

Yes, I am so happy now. After we arrive here we come into the fullness of our being. We are, in reality, so much more than we know ourselves to be in our physical life. I am going to school here and I am going to make myself useful in some way, probably working with newly arrived children for awhile. Your sister Marilouise is working with children at times also. I will be here with all of you in the family at the end of your physical Earth life when you come here and you will have a reception also with many people you’ve known, and I’ll be one of them.

Know that there is no need to fear death for it is like closing one door and opening another. Because I knew that from you, it helped me to cross over more easily because I was not afraid and therefore I could more easily close my eyes to the physical and open my eyes easier to this life here through that understanding – and so, if you choose, will all of you who are not afraid. I have become aware of what a great barrier fear can be, not only in crossing over but also in all aspects of physical life.

In this dimension where I am now, it is very much like Earth. There are magnificent buildings, etc. but everything is of a higher vibration. My mother and daughter Marilouise are in a higher place or dimension. They can visit Henry and I here but we cannot go to a higher dimension because it is too intense until we spiritually evolve to a higher dimension. We can go to lower dimensions but we would have no desire to do so unless we wanted to visit someone we loved or knew. We will continue to learn and grow into higher dimensions. As the Master said, “In my Father’s house, there are many mansions.” Whenever you think of me, I will be with you. Auf wiedersehen and God be with you. I am your mother who loves you.”

Evolving on the Other Side

My sister passed on in 1978 at 37 years old from a brain tumor. Three months later I connected with her and she shared her experience of crossing over. There after I received more messages from her and then there was a period of 6-7 years I didn’t hear from her. Finally one day, “Hi big brother, I’m back.” She went on to say she had, in that short Earth time, lived another life on another planet. Realizing that didn’t make sense to me, a complete life in just a few years, she explained that time is not linear, and on higher dimensional planets, time is experienced quite differently.

At a more recent time she told me she was about to evolve to a higher spiritual dimension. Not to much later she contacted me again and shared her experience of moving into the higher dimension. What follows is that experience:

Evolving into the next dimension was beautiful, wondrous, and even unimaginable. The colors and music were as soft as angel’s wings. Did you ever look at a peacock’s tail spread out like angel’s wings? Now put a neon light behind them with a continuous light giving it shaded colors like Joseph’s coat. It is like the softness of a gentle breeze off gentle waters.

Imagine yourself as the only person around. Bring your mind into focus and gently breathe. Then bring your mind to focus on the stillness and you will feel the gentle breeze, the breath of God washing over the entire body. Do not stop the breath until you feel God’s breath. Only then will you begin to see the colors in your naked state of awakening to your true self. You will feel feather light and a floating sensation. You will hear the whisper of angel’s wings and feel their gentle brush as they come close to your body. Sounds are sweet and soothing as the angels sing in harmony and hum in unison. Even in this state one can only get a glimpse, a fraction of what is in store for them. Please be aware that:
You can only cross over directly into this level from the Earth plane if your life was lived in a very spiritual and loving manner.
Until we communicate again,
Your loving sister Marilouise
